Contours of Climate Justice - Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation

The Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation
pays tribute to the memory of the second
Secretary General of the UN by searching
for and examining workable alternatives
for a socially and economically just,
ecologically sustainable, peaceful and
secure world.
In the spirit of Dag Hammarskjöld’s
integrity, his readiness to challenge the
dominant powers and his passionate plea
for the sovereignty of small nations and
their right to shape their own destiny, the
Foundation seeks to examine mainstream
understanding of development and bring to
the debate alternative perspectives of often
unheard voices.
By making possible the meeting of minds,
experiences and perspectives through the
organising of seminars and dialogues,
the Foundation plays a catalysing role
in the identifi cation of new issues and
the formulation of new concepts, policy
proposals, strategies and work plans towards
solutions. The Foundation seeks to be at the
cutting edge of the debates on development,
security and environment, thereby
continuously embarking on new themes
in close collaboration with a wide and
constantly expanding international network.
